On the Brain

Door Shuts

Held

breath

breaks

Clenched fist loosens hold

hidden treasure

Softly powder falls

lined gently

Subtle snow banks

frosted glass

reflecting broken pieces

She glimpses

shadowed circles

pallid skin

eyes on fire

Swift inhale

Sugar piles swept away

flying upwards

Through nasal passages

coating throat

Bitter

brutal taste

pulling on cheekbones

Medicine soaks in
